Home batteries

Store your day's sun for the evening

A battery keeps your cheap daytime solar for when you actually need it — at night. But it's not right for every home yet. We'll tell you straight.

The honest bit first

A battery is a big spend. Whether it pays off depends on how much power you use in the evening, your solar, and your tariff. If it won't stack up for you yet, we'll say so — that's the point of talking to an electrician, not a salesperson.

Will it work in a blackout?

This is the one most people get wrong. Not every battery keeps your lights on in an outage— it needs the right inverter and backup wiring. We'll tell you exactly what your setup would and wouldn't do in a blackout, before you buy — not after.

Common questions

Is a battery worth it right now?
Honest answer: it depends on your usage. The best way to know is a quick chat about your bill. Ask us.
Is there a rebate on batteries?
Yes — eligible batteries get an upfront federal discount. How the rebate works.
How long does a battery last?
Typically around 10 years, with a manufacturer warranty to match. We only fit CEC-approved batteries.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar?
Often yes. We'll check your current inverter and switchboard and let you know what's involved.

Common sizes + their rebate: 10 kWh and 13.5 kWh batteries.

Not sure if a battery's worth it?

That's exactly the question we like. Tell us your suburb and roughly your quarterly bill, and we'll give you an honest answer — no pressure.
